meeting at the lake

we used to meet
beside
the lake.
under the canopy of green.
the sun bristling
white
upon the water.
where the boats would
glide by
with hardly a splash.
the oars
bending softly
side to side.
we'd watch.
we'd hold hands.
but there was no talk about
tomorrow.
or the future.
we knew
without saying a word,
that this love would never
last.
